Peyton Manning "forgot" to congratulate the Saints

Manning wanted to get back to his hotel ASAP so he could shoot to Keez

AMIRITE ILLINI?

MMA is not a sport. And Manning wasn't sacked or hit once during the game so for his position he was hit less than a soccer player. What injury did Manning endured during the game to warrant not shaking a single Saints player hand?

How is golf more of a sport than MMA?

And it's not specific to that one game, just the entire season.

**** manning

manning sucks anyway.. getting old wont be good anymore

It was a big game and you can't judge him based off of the game. I think hes one of the best behaved qbs

Why is this an issue? If you had just lost the biggest spectacle in sports, would you want to go running through 5000 people to find Brees and shake his hand?

Brees was probably glad that he didn't-- that win was for him to share with his team, not manning.

He was trying to find Reggie Wayne, the tool that just lost him the Superbowl. First Wayne didn't turn in time to catch a deep pass, then didn't turn in time and allowed an INT (returned for TD), and finally dropped a late TD pass. (Wayne cost me a big middle earlier in the season, by dropping an easy TD catch in the endzone). Not saying Colts would have covered, but Wayne cost them the game.

When he lost. He went straight to the lockers. I guess choking on the big game 3 times out of 4 in his career had its toll on his class. What a douchebag and sore loser.

Pot meet kettle. Pavyracer calling someone a douchebag is like Elton John calling a dude gay.

Dark Horse have you ever played football or are you just another armchair quarterback?

Probably just frustrated. But did lack class to run of without shaking anyones hand. Great job Saints and good job Saints backers. Somehow the Colts were destined to lose this game, and those who knew that had the balls to stick to it!

Bateman, when somebody ask a QB about an INT and he answers "all I will say about it is that the defender (Porter) made a great play", you know what he's really saying, right?

Reggie Wayne wasn't making his cuts all day, and was playing like sh*t. But because probably 90% of the public doesn't see that, the QB has to play along with public perception. Otherwise you end up with a Terrel Owens scenario where the press consciously is trying to get disturbing information from a player because it's 'news'.

I honestly think that Manning, the perfectionist, had to get off the field after the game and scream into some pillow or towel before showing his face again.

Anyway, the team that won the turnover battle won the game. That's been the story the entire playoffs. And you can bet your ass that the Colts had made it a huge priority not to turn the ball over. They were all on the same page, except Reggie who was in Wayne's World.

Peyton is the epitome of class. He doesn't owe anyone an ass kissing.

He said why he didn't stick around the fiasco after the game and was humble and congratulatory in the presser and then called on the phone as well.

The first thing they should teach these pricks is good sportsmanship. It's a game. They should have em shake hands like in hockey.

Tell that to his 100 million dollars

Peyton is a good dude overall, cut him some slack.

Shortstop · 02-10-10, 02:24 AM

Peyton Manning doesn't have to congratulate anyone that he doesn't want to.

who cares really?

Money can't buy class

fresnosurf · 02-10-10, 03:15 AM

give them a break, they lost the SB. It just means they played their hardest and card.

iceminers26 · 02-10-10, 03:18 AM

The bottom line is Peyton will still make his millions regardless if SBR posters call him classless.

THEGREAT30 · 02-10-10, 03:41 AM

Phuck the Saints, hope they enjoy there lives though

6_Feet_Under · 02-10-10, 07:21 AM

It was a classless move.Maybe he wouldn't have been able to find him,but he didn't even try.
